Training Your Dog to Hunt for Shed Deer Antlers

Second eidtion is just hot off the press, only here at Prairie Grass Outfitters, Training Your Dog to Hunt for Shed Antlers by Tom Dokken/Jerry Thoms.
All breeds of dogs can be taught to hunt for shed deer antlers, though hunting dogs are usually easiest to train because they have genetically programmed to search for, find, and fetch gamebirds or anything else with a wildlife odor.
The book, the scents and all the training tools are available to get your dog started finding sheds.
This complete guide to training your dog to find shed deer, elk or moose antlers has many other benefits. Good source of exercise and physical conditioning all year for any dog and its owner, good way to practice hunting methods for game birds by developing a dog's search, cooperation, retrieving and other hunting skills, good approach to helping deer hunters locate trophy deer because found sheds will reveal where big bucks hang out. These same deer hunters may help shed hunters to get permission for access to private property. Good family activity because everyone can participate with no special skill required.
Dokkens Rack Wax is a must addition to the training book. The wax (RW-1) is applied to a antler during the training period to make the dog successful in locating shed antlers. See the wax in the Dokken Deadfowl Trainer section.
We have put together a number of training kits to help you teach your dog to find shed antlers. Experience tells us that by using these training kits your dog will quickly understand the concepts of shed hunting.
Happy shed hunting to all!!
